The Swiss group Lombard Odier has bolstered its private banking offering with the appointment of Eric Séheux as a senior private banker in France.

Séheux joins from the Paris-based multi-family office Massena Finance Gestion, where he had been working since 2004 and was latterly responsible for developing and managing private investment. He has also worked at Allianz Vie, UNF and HSBC France. He has spent ten years working in the wealth management industry.

In his new role he will work under Nicolas Lunel, head of the Lombard Odier’s French operations.

The firm has been hiring steadily across several regions over the last few months. In early November former Barclays Wealth managing director Dominic Tremlitt was named as a senior executive in Lombard Odier’s international private banking team in Geneva. Meanwhile, in September the firm boosted its Hong Kong team, expanding the office with the addition of five senior relationship managers.
